As temperatures drop, it’s worth taking a few extra steps to stay warm and comfortable at home, especially for older or more vulnerable loved ones. 💙

🚪 Keep rooms heated and doors closed
🧣 Layer clothing rather than relying on one thick layer
☕ Enjoy regular hot drinks and warm meals
🛏️ Use blankets and throws in the evenings
📞 Check in regularly... a quick call can make a big difference

Small changes can help keep everyone warm, safe, and feeling looked after during the cold winter days. 🥰

💜 We’re still looking for Bellcare Buddy volunteers 💜

☕️ Do you have an hour or two to spare for a cuppa and a chat? Our Bellcare Buddies initiative is still welcoming volunteers to spend some time with service users who would love a bit of extra company between care visits.

Bellcare will carry out DBS checks at no cost, and all you need to bring is a friendly face and a listening ear.

💬 If you’d like to find out more, please get in touch with Debbie at Bellcare: debbie.ellwood@bellcare.co.uk - we’d love to hear from you.

🏡 Homecare is often the best option for maintaining independence while still receiving the support someone needs.

Here’s why it works so well for many families ⤵️

☀️ Daily routines stay intact
🛋️ People remain in the comfort of their own home
🥰 Support fits around the person, not the other way round
🫂 Loved ones can visit as normal
❤️ Familiarity and confidence are preserved

Homecare isn’t about changing someone’s life, it’s about helping them continue living it, safely and comfortably.

If you’d like a friendly, no-pressure chat about what support could look like, we’re always here to help 💜

🎅 No one alone 🎅

Do you know a neighbour or someone local that's on their own this Christmas?

We are looking to bring 4 people together who will be alone on Christmas day to join us for a complimentary 3 course meal from us 🎄

We have a special community table for someone alone to join us this festive season.

Everyone deserves to celebrate Christmas, so please help us find those alone or less fortunate.

We would love to make their Christmas as special as they are
If this is yourself, or you know someone who will be alone this festive season, drop us a message or pop in for more information.

This includes free transport courtesy of KB Travel

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas, 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

🏡 When families start exploring care options, one of the biggest concerns we hear is: “𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒆’𝒔 𝒅𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆?”

It’s completely natural to want to protect the comfort, familiarity, and little everyday habits that make someone feel at home. Those quiet mornings, favourite TV shows, and familiar surroundings matter... and they shouldn’t be lost just because support is needed. 🥰

That’s exactly why homecare can be such a great choice. It allows people to keep living life their way, with support that fits around their routines, not the other way around. 💜

A look back at our very first Bellcare Bites! 🍰☕️

What a lovely day it was - full of smiles, chatter, and plenty of good food!

Our service users spent time with a member of the Bellcare carers team, enjoying treats, sharing stories, and simply having a nice, relaxed afternoon. It was wonderful to see everyone laughing, connecting, and making the most of the time together.

It was such a special start to the Bellcare Bites series... we can’t wait for the next one! 💜

Noticing things are getting a bit harder for your loved one at home? 🏡

You’re not alone, and you don’t need to wait until things reach a crisis point to reach out for support. 💜

Many families come to us when small worries start to add up:

🕒 Missed medication
🥘 Skipped meals
💬 Less conversation
🧺 Household jobs piling up
🚪 Worries about safety
😣 Family burnout

Home care isn’t about taking over - it’s about taking pressure off, and a little support can bring back structure, comfort, and peace of mind for everyone.

If you’re unsure what to do next, we’re here for a friendly, no-pressure chat.

At Bellcare, care isn’t just about daily support. It’s about making moments that matter 💜

🦇 Craig, one of our service users, had long dreamed of meeting his idol, Marilyn Manson. But after a sudden stay in intensive care, he needed two carers to attend the concert with him instead of one.

Knowing how important this was, our team - especially Nicola from HR (pictured) - worked with the venue to secure an extra carer ticket free of charge so Craig could still go safely. 🎶

As you can see from the photo, he had the night of his life.🥰

Person-centred care is all about dignity, choice, and helping people continue to enjoy what they love.

💬 Many families share the same worries about their loved ones living at home:

• Are they eating properly?
• What if they fall?
• Are they lonely?
• I can’t be there as much as I’d like...

At Bellcare, we’re here to ease those worries with reliable, compassionate support that helps people stay safe, connected, and independent in their own homes. 🥰

If you’re starting to think about extra help for someone you love, our team is always here for a friendly chat.
